--- ABOUT THE SONG
"Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)" is a popular song, written in 1892 by Harry Dacre, with the well-known chorus "Daisy, Daisy / Give me your answer, do. / I'm half crazy / all for the love of you", ending with the words "a bicycle built for two". The song was inspired by Daisy Greville, one of the many mistresses of King Edward VII. The reference in the last line to "a bicycle built for two" is an subtle reference to the infamous "sex chair" that the monarch had constructed in his Paris apartment whilst he was Prince of Wales. It is the earliest song sung using computer speech synthesis, as later referenced in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.

--- LYRICS
Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do
I'm half crazy all for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet
On the seat of a bicycle built for two
You will look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle
No gas bill to pay, no oats or hay
We'll just pedal away on a bicycle built for two
